Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene will likely be stripped of her committee responsibilities by the Democratic majority in Congress tomorrow.
Given her anti-Semitism, her 9/11 truthism, school shooting denialism, support for QAnon conspiracy theories, violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the assassination of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, her removal from Congressional committees is entirely warranted. But the newly elected Congresswoman is undeterred. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Greene stated, "How stupid they are. They don’t even realize they’re helping me. I’m pretty amazed at how dumb they are."
I hate to admit it, but I think Greene might have a point.
While Democrats might marginalize Greene in the halls of Congress they will only elevate her status in Trump World and raise gobs and gobs of money. Should Trump run in 2024, I would not be surprised if he were to name Greene as his running mate especially given his contempt for Georgia Republicans being unable to overturn the election results in his favor. And if Trump doesn't run then she has as much of a chance of earning the GOP nomination as Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley.
Congressional Committees or no congressional committees, Greene is ascending. While Democrats might paint her as the crazy face of the Republican Party let us remember there are millions of irrational voters who would happily vote for her on a Republican presidential ticket not to mention a million or so rational voters should the Biden Administration stumble and fall.
